Can't see me ever selling my early Hurricane or '60's Senior. Years ago I sold my banana barrel Mk 1, regretted it ever since. The CO2's I have just don't have the same 'feel', I'm afraid.

If I had to keep just one pistol from my collection it would be the pre-war Webley Mk1 - the first 'serious' air pistol I ever owned and probably one of the least valuable. This would be closely followed by the FWB65 with which I competed in numerous matches and competitions in the 70's and 80's and I still have it.
I bought the mk1 in 1957 from the boy who sat next to me in class at school for 30 shillings (£1.50) and it gave me hours of pleasure in the summer holidays, weekends and summer evenings so it holds a strong emotional attachment. Along with a Senior, Airsporter, and two Webley mk3's acquired while still at school in the 1950's these became the nucleus of a collection which I started to build rather late in life in 1997, after the handgun ban. Since then my collection has grown to 100+ but these more recent acquisitions were on a 'wanted' list and hold none of the attachment that the two listed above have.

Not dissing older C02 pistols, just disappointed with one I've recently bought new. The Crosman 357 was good for the price, the Luger bb I've had great fun with - & it was very cheap, but the Dan Wesson 8", pricey - feels well made, but give me my old Wobbley's any time. At least I know the pellet will leave the barrel.

I had one of those sum time ago lovely gun it had a beautiful custom wooden grip on it but could I shoot the bloody thing for some reason I could not hit a barn door with it funny really as I am quite good with the old spring webley pistols I gave up trying in the end and sold it.
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration
They are all a load of crap except the Feinwerkbau 65, the Walther LP53 and the Brno B96 semi-auto.

Two old technology twangy springers, and a fairly decent one. As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder !

My 600 without doubt.
Its as inaccurate as hell, not very powerful, but as much fun as you can have with your trousers on !
And it goes off with a hell of a crack too.
